TAKING carbidopa/levodopa
STALEVO is indicated for
certain patients with Parkinson's disease experiencing symptom
reemergence due to levodopa "wearing-off."
|
|
|
|
|
Carbidopa/levodopa is the mainstay of treatment for people with Parkinson's disease (PD).
|
|
|
While carbidopa/levodopa is an effective treatment for PD symptoms, PD
is a condition for which currently there is no cure. Symptoms advance from early to
moderate to advanced stages. As PD progresses, a dose of medication that was effective
may "wear off" before the next scheduled dose, and symptoms may reemerge. As symptoms
progress, your treatment may need to be modified.
